[turkman]

Yea I coversed it with my wife's yoga mat( don't tell her)it will be done in leather when it's finished it started out on a sting ray I liked the pan and the bar but hated the seat so that's how it started. Later Bob

 

[racie35]

my whizzer ambassador has a seat and bar kinda like that.. I always liked the seats on stingray and playboy bikes years ago too....banana seats I guess....was always comfy to slide back and take a new position

 

[turkman]

[culvercityclassic]

Looks real good Bob... You say cafe racer with no clip-on's

What's up... I do see you have brakes and gears...you in shape for that or should I bring the AED from work... Lol

 

[Gbrebes]

Alright Bob!

Congratulations on getting it road ready. I know you were concerned about finishing in time. I have to agree with Jeff though, those bars look a little high. The lower you can get on the bike, the better/deeper you can lean into the turns in my humble opinion. Is it fast? With your engine mods, I figure its got to be.

Good luck on the track, its more than fun, its like a slice of heaven.

turkman: I spy trussed rod forks with all the correct lines, have you considered additon of a leaf spring to your frontend?

Nice work btw. Like it, well played.

 

[culvercityclassic]

That's a race bike Lab...leaf spring front end is way to heavy... I have yet to see one that sits right... They all seem to make the front end too hi...

Should be some good racing in that class... I know Turk can ride...

What happened to that top end in the first posts, this looks like regular jug and a puch head?? That top didnt work out?

 

[turkman]

Yea it didn't work out, FX moved out of town,other things needed doing, things change.
I just got my green bike running and am starting a bike I've been thinking about for a long time

 

[fx-2]

Well that motor was used on a nother bike and it worked out well . It was just a mild ported motor with a RT carb . Here is the finished bike . http://motorbicycling.com/showthread.php?t=43040 Dan
